Usually ‘a disembodied voice’ that no one sees… Lord Jamar’s homie DJ Vlad finally makes it over to the Yanadameen Godcast in front of the camera. Certainly a welcome guest, but the visit wasn’t warm daps and hugs. Watch and see some real [solemn] talk about halfway through.

With Lord Jamar having become somewhat of a staple on VladTV, the face behind the voice has finally come around to the Yanadameen Godcast to be on the other side of the questions (0:59). In this episode, Vlad talks about the beginnings of VladTV (3:53) and Rah Digga asks how the infamous Vlad/Lord Jamar videos came to be in the first place (5:35). Vlad gives some insight into his background and his early foray into Hip-Hop (9:13) before Rah Digga puts to him that his platform perpetuates and fuels a lot of the negative aspects in Hip-Hop that many people work tirelessly to put an end to (16:22).

‘Lyrics Matter’ esp. in this episode! Mad Squablz is someone I have been following for quite some time… and dude got BARZ for yards and yards! He and RJ Payne are on the Godcast repping Philly well.

In an era when it seems that so-called “mumble” rap is thriving and lyricism is on the critically endangered list, Lord Jamar and Rah Digga welcome to the Yanadameen Godcast two of Philly’s finest spitters in RJ Payne and Mad Squablz. Find out how both artists got into Hip-Hop and honed their skills, then turn the volume all the way up as they drop absolute fire on solo freestyles before closing out with an unrehearsed back-to-back which will have you reaching for the fire extinguisher!

Another ep of “Yanadameen.”Godfrey is a frequenter over on VladTV, as is Lord Jamar. Jamar gets up with the brother and brings him onto the Godcast. Got it!

Rah Digga puts a series of topical questions to Lord Jamar and Godfrey to get their thoughts in typically raw and unfiltered fashion. The first talking point is the protestor who scaled the Statue of Liberty in protest against President Trump’s hardline immigration policies; Godfrey praises the actions of the protestor but takes a moment to call out Mexicans for their anti-Black racism and highlight the fact that they’re getting their wake-up call now with Trump in office. Rah Digga also asks about the incident between Dame Dash and Lee Daniels over a 2 MILLION DOLLAR loan/investment. Was it right for Dame to step to Daniels like this?

Okay then! Rock Mecc stacked the decc with Ras Kass and Rah Digga running away with the features on “One Rhyme To The Next.” Click play and get a piece of this action!

18th-letter spitters Rock Mecca, Ras Kass and Rah Digga refuse to dumb it down over a heater by DJ DJO-One, channeling the OG 18th-letter himself to champion lyricism over everything. Produced by DJ DJO-One. Cuts by Jake Palumbo.

Lord Jamar and Rah Digga doing real talk for The Culture. Very relevant, ‘woke’ enough in the right way. Yeah, this “Yanadameen”Godcast (nice wordplay) should be worth an add to your listen rotation (if you have not already).

If you have been tuned into the Beatz & Lyrics Showon a weekly basis then you have heard the track Ski Mask Way by Rah Digga & Lyric Jones. The Beatz & Lyrics show that airs every Monday night 8pm Est 5pm PST on the Native Ryhmes Channel on Dash Radio. Okay shameless plug out of the way now lets get to this exclusive interview we had with these two Titans on the microphone. ArtbyOdell was at 529 in East Atlanta for the kickoff date of the Ski Mask Way tour. Lyric Jones & Rah Digga discuss how their collaboration came about and what new music they have in store. There is even a brief discussion on 2nd amendment gun rights as well. Let me apologize in advance for the abrupt end to the video, some technical difficulties but plenty of gems in this video, enjoy!

It’s like Rah Digga went shopping in the dopest beat store, picked through that fresh !illmind produce (off “!lluminati,” posted earlier here) for the “Six Deep” instrumental and blessed it with this “Six Deep Freestyle.” You know, Rah D-I been handling B-I with the social commentary on cuts lately. So no surprise this is another message music jawn to get into.

Message! They gone learn today! You can listen hard for shots fired if you want. But since Rah is pretty above board with her shots (ehem… duck Iggy, duck down!), spend the next spin (yeah, you gonna play this at least twice) listening hard for truth! Plenty in this joint.

Well, let them sh!ts go then, Ma! “I Ain’t Neva Lied” is apparently what Rah would call easy work. But still the good stuff. Banging beat with live lyrics. Just right for the site. No real info out there on any project this’ll be a part of. But hey, Sean Price has been dropping all kinds of loosies lately. Maybe we ought to chill and let the lady bless us like this. Enjoy.

The start and end samples though… from the “Terminator”movie (ah… now the hook makes sense: there’s a “Storm Coming”). Rah Digga will have heads hollering ‘Message!’ on this one. Sure sex sells, but it’s gonna come down to rhymes in the end! Moreover, emcees (esp. females) Rah admonishes you to get your lives together.

F#ck cocacaine. Fame is a hell of a drug! How far you gone go trying to get that buzz? How many you gone f#ck trying to get that plug? In the future are you still gone get that love?

And the Chuck D outro…no more silence, just guidance. Take heed. Listen.

‘There’s more outrage over a Kendrick verse than babies in the street TWERKING. Or have folks forgotten what this leads to?? Guess I’m just too school for cool in this regard. My name is Rah Digga and I approve this message!!’

This original version will appear on a Coalmine Records compilation album entitled “Unearthed” (due out second quarter 2013).

Rah Digga respect! Former Flipmode First Lady still got the skills… and the guts! “Never back Down” features lyrics by Nitty Scott, MC, from NYC (by way of Florida by way of Michigan) and beat work by dope producer from Down Under (Australia) – M-Phazes. No word on whether this track is attached to a larger project or if it is a precursor to bigger things for Digga and Nitty. We just gotta wait and see… and listen to this banger right here!

Take that how you want. But take this to the bank: Rah Digga has stayed on many folks’ Top Female Emcees List… and teaming with Rapsody on this 14KT track is a good way to stay on or get back on yours. She never left ours. Click and play below to see why!

“I didn’t make this record for press purposes or for hype cuz that’s not my thing. I got wind of various artists referencin me in a negative fashion. They poked fun at me I’m just pokin back. Its all sport to me. I wish em all the best, they just need to understand who is off limits. MC Lyte is off limits. Rah Digga is off limits. Respect those who kept hip hop raw so that we could still have a culture or get a first hand lesson in a lyrical ass whoopin. Love is love.” – Rah Digga
